CLASS OF 1953 | 2014 | ISSUE 2

Northeast U.S. was home to a majority of our freshman class. Within a few years of graduation members of the class began to move—west and south—as demanded by job and family. This continues with retirement and aging. Relocating in January to The Woodlands, Texas, from his long-term home in Chagrin Falls, Ohio (Chagrin origin?, probably corruption of the French surname Seguin), Jim Griffis enjoys “a large 8th (top) floor corner apartment with wraparound balcony” overlooking a small lake outside Houston. Two of his four children, his daughter and his retired son (one of three), live in the area. He left a great-granddaughter and great-grandson in Cleveland. Always being the “oldest guy in his Cleveland circles,” he now finds himself among “old people—many older and more active.” Not an unusual occurrence for many of us. Welcome to the Southwest, Jim!

Not enough news? As spring brings forth new life and winter hibernation ends, share your activities (planned or completed) with classmates with a note or call to me. Thanks to all who have contributed to the Wesleyan Fund.
